I don't understand what "fora" means in this context. Is this "mark some tasks as good first task" or what is the scope?

I think it might just be marking some tasks easy, but I also wonder:

  1. where, if anywhere, else we should advertise these
  2. what we can do to make them more appealing and more do-able
  3. if anyone else is trying to solve the same problems of detailed Phabricator reporting and what we can learn from them.

Feel very encouraged to add a section to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_little_bugs :)

  1. what we can do to make them more appealing and more do-able

General: Dedicated instructions on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phlogiston how to get the code (there's a GitHub link listed at least), running it locally, creating/getting test data to play with it. For specific tasks: Clear problem definition, how to reproduce the problem, what is expected instead, pointers to related code areas (function names etc).

  1. if anyone else is trying to solve the same problems of detailed Phabricator reporting and what we can learn from them.
